[Approved:
June 13, 2007]

Legislative
Counsels Digest:

Sections 1, 2,
4, 5, 13-16and 40-42 of this bill require the Department of Motor
Vehicles to adopt certain regulations to bring Nevada into compliance with the
federal REAL ID Act of 2005.

Existing law
requires an applicant for a drivers license, identification card or a
motorcycle drivers license to provide his name, date of birth and residential
address to the Department and furnish proof, acceptable to the Department, of
his name and age to the Department. (NRS 483.290, 483.850, 486.081) Sections
2, 14, 15 and 40 of this bill provide that an applicant for a drivers
license, identification card or motorcycle license must furnish his full legal
name, address of principal residence and mailing address, if different from his
address of principal residence, on his application. The Department is
authorized to adopt regulations prescribing the documents an applicant may
furnish as proof of his full legal name and age. The Department may only grant
a drivers license, identification card or motorcycle drivers license to a
person who is a citizen of a foreign country for the period of his authorized
stay in the United States or, if there is no definite end to the period of
authorized stay, for 1 year from the date of issuance.

Existing law
requires that certain information be contained on a drivers license or
identification card. (NRS 483.340, 483.840) Sections 4 and 13 of this
bill remove such requirements from existing law and require the Department to
adopt regulations prescribing the specific information that a drivers license
or identification card must contain.

Existing law
prescribes when a drivers license, identification card or motorcycle drivers
license expires. (NRS 483.380, 483.875, 486.161) Sections 5, 16 and 41
of this bill remove the expiration provisions from existing law and require the
Department to adopt regulations that specify when a drivers license,
identification card or motorcycle drivers license must expire.

Existing law
prescribes the specific information that must be included to record a
conviction on a driving record. Section 9 of this bill deletes the
requirement to record the conviction using the specific information and
requires the Department to adopt regulations prescribing the information
necessary to record a conviction on a drivers record. (NRS 483.450)

Existing law
requires an applicant for a drivers license or motorcycle drivers license to
furnish to the Department proof of his social security number, if one has been
assigned to him. (NRS 483.290, 486.081) Section 14 of this bill requires
an applicant for an identification card to furnish proof of his social security
number, if he has been assigned one.

Existing law makes
it unlawful for the driver of a motor vehicle to be under the influence of
intoxicating liquor or a controlled substance, or both, or to have a
concentration of alcohol of 0.08 or more in his blood or breath. (NRS 484.379)
Existing law also requires the imposition of administrative sanctions for a
person who has a concentration of alcohol of 0.04 or more but less than 0.08 in
his blood or breath while in control of a commercial motor vehicle. (NAC
483.848) Section 22 of this bill makes it unlawful for any driver of a
commercial motor vehicle, which includes a motor vehicle used to transport
certain hazardous materials, to be under the influence of intoxicating liquor
or a controlled substance or to have a concentration of alcohol of 0.04 or more
but less than 0.08 in his blood or breath.

Section 48
of this bill repeals existing law which allows the Department to issue a
drivers license to an international student or instructor who declares himself
to be a resident of Nevada for the limited purpose of obtaining a drivers
license. (NRS 483.247) Section 48 also repeals the Driver License
Compact that requires the Department to request a copy of a persons driving
record from another state if he is applying for an instruction permit or an
operators or chauffers license in this State. The persons former driving
record becomes part of his driving record in this State. The Driver License
Compact is repealed in anticipation of the Department adopting the Driver
License Agreement to replace the compact. NRS 483.635 grants the Department the
authority to enter into an agreement with another state to facilitate the
exchange of information concerning the issuance, renewal, suspension or
revocation of drivers licenses and to ensure that each driver possesses only
one license and driving record.

Legislative
Counsels Digest:

Existing law
requires the State Land Registrar, the board of county commissioners of each
county, and the governing body of each incorporated city to obtain two
independent appraisals of any real property when selling or leasing the
property and to sell or lease the property upon sealed bids followed by oral
offers. (NRS 244.2795, 244.281, 244.283, 268.059, 268.062, 321.007, 321.335) Sections
1, 3, 4, 6 and 7 of this bill amend that requirement to require that the
State Land Registrar, each board of county commissioners and each city
governing body, when selling or leasing real property: (1) obtain two
independent appraisals of the property; or (2) obtain one independent appraisal
of the property and hold a public hearing on the matter of the fair market
value of the property. Sections 1-4 and 6-8 of this bill except property
sold or leased to a public utility for a public purpose and property sold or
leased to the State or another governmental entity from the requirement for an
appraisal and to be sold or leased upon sealed bids followed by oral offers. Sections
1 and 2 of this bill except property leased pursuant to a contract entered
into pursuant to chapter 333 of NRS from those requirements.

Existing law
provides for the board of county commissioners of each county and the governing
body of each incorporated city to sell real property by auction. (NRS 244.282,
268.062) Sections 5 and 8 of this bill require a person requesting to
purchase real property from a county or city by auction to deposit with the
board of commissioners or governing body an amount of money sufficient to pay
the costs of the board of commissioners or governing body in acting upon the
request.

Existing law
authorizes the State to lease state land to certain nonprofit organizations or
educational institutions for a reduced charge. (NRS 322.065) Sections 2.5
and 5.5 of this bill provide similar authority to the boards of county
commissioners of counties and to the governing bodies of cities.

Existing law
provides that a political subdivision may convey real property to another
political subdivision or an Indian tribe without charge if the property is to
be used for a public purpose. (NRS 277.053) Section 9.3 of this bill
provides that a political subdivision may also convey real property to the
State or an agency of the State without charge if the property is to be used
for a public purpose.

Under existing law,
the sale or lease of any portion of the property of a municipal airport is
required to be made by public auction. (NRS 496.080) Section 9.7 of this
bill provides that, in a county whose population is less than 50,000 (currently
counties other than Clark and Washoe Counties, and Carson City), leases of
property at a county airport are not subject to requirements relating to
appraisal and public auction. Section 10 of this bill exempts a board of
county commissioners of a county whose population is 50,000 or more (currently
Clark and Washoe Counties and Carson City) from the requirement of conducting a
public auction for the rental or lease of space for the parking or storage of
aircraft at an airport owned by the county but requires that such a rental or
lease be made for fair market value, as determined by an independent appraisal.

Sections 1, 3, 4
and 6-9 of this bill provide additionally that if land or real property is
sold or leased in violation of the provisions thereof, the sale or lease is
void and any change to an ordinance or law governing the zoning or use of that
land or real property is void if the change occurs within the 5-year period

CHAPTER 492

AN ACT relating to financial transactions; revising consumer credit
protections for members of the military; revising provisions governing civil
actions brought against certain borrowers who engage in fraudulent conduct;
prohibiting a person from engaging in certain conduct with the intent to
defraud a participant in a mortgage lending transaction; prohibiting certain
conduct by a foreclosure consultant; providing an administrative penalty for

[Approved:
June 13, 2007]

Legislative
Counsels Digest:

Under existing law,
it is an unfair lending practice for a lender to knowingly or intentionally
make a home loan to a borrower based solely on the borrowers equity in the
home property and without determining that the borrower has the ability to
repay the home loan from income or other assets. (NRS 598D.100) Section 2
of this bill revises this provision to remove the requirement that the lender
based the home loan solely on the borrowers equity. Section 2 also
clarifies that the provision applies to a low-document, no-document or
stated-document home loan, other than a reverse mortgage, if the loan is made
without determining, using any commercially reasonable means or mechanism, the
borrowers ability to repay the loan.

Existing federal
law imposes limitations on the terms of consumer credit that is extended to
members of the Armed Forces of the United States who are on active duty and
their dependents, including, without limitation, a prohibition against a lender
imposing an interest rate greater than 36 percent. The federal law preempts any
state law that is inconsistent with the federal law. (Section 670 of the John
Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, Public Law
109-364) Section 2.2 of this bill provides that any violation of the
federal law shall be deemed to be a violation of chapter 604A of NRS, thereby
making violators subject to the remedies and penalties set forth in that
chapter, including the imposition of an administrative fine of not more than
$10,000 for each violation, the revocation or suspension of a license issued
pursuant to that chapter and civil actions for damages. (NRS 604A.820, 604A.930)
Section 22 of this bill provides that any violation of the federal law
shall be deemed to be a violation of chapter 675 of NRS, thereby making
violators subject to the remedies and penalties set forth in that chapter,
including the imposition of an administrative fine of not more than $10,000 for
each violation and the revocation or suspension of a license issued pursuant to
that chapter. (NRS 675.440)

Existing law
authorizes parties to agree to any rate of interest on money due pursuant to a
contract. (NRS 99.050) Section 2.9 of this bill provides an exception to
this provision for agreements which are subject to the federal law discussed
above which limits the interest rate on such agreements to 36 percent.

Existing law
provides certain practices that must be followed by a person licensed to
operate a check-cashing service, deferred deposit loan service, short-term loan
service or title loan service pursuant to chapter 604A of NRS when dealing with
a customer who is called to active duty in the military. (NRS 604A.420) Section
2.4 of this bill revises this list of practices and provides that the
provision applies to any customer who is a member of the military. Section
23 of this bill sets forth a new provision which is identical to section
2.4 for persons who are licensed pursuant to chapter 675 of NRS to make
loans.

Existing law
provides remedies for a financial institution that relied on certain fraudulent
conduct of a borrower who engaged in the conduct to obtain certain loans
secured by a lien on real property. (NRS 40.750) Section 2.8 of this
bill provides that these remedies are available to other lenders as well.
Existing law authorizes a financial institution to commence an action against a
borrower who engaged in such fraudulent conduct within 3 years after
discovering the fraudulent conduct. (NRS 11.190) Section 2.7 of this
bill provides that this period of limitation applies to other lenders as well.

Section 3 of
this bill establishes the crime of mortgage lending fraud, which is a category
C felony. Section 3 also provides that a person who engages in a pattern
of mortgage lending fraud is guilty of a category B felony. Furthermore, under section
3, if a lender is convicted of mortgage lending fraud, the borrower in the
transaction involving the mortgage lending fraud may rescind the transaction
within 6 months after the date of the conviction. Chapters 645B and 645E of NRS
govern mortgage brokers and mortgage agents and mortgage bankers, respectively.

Sections 7-20
of this bill establish specific rights and duties concerning foreclosure
consultants and foreclosure purchasers. Section 9 defines a foreclosure
consultant as a person who promises to perform, for compensation, various
services for a homeowner whose residence is in foreclosure that the foreclosure
consultant represents will assist the homeowner to, for example, postpone or
prevent a foreclosure sale, obtain an extension of time to repay his mortgage
loan, obtain an alternative loan or mortgage, file documents with a bankruptcy
court or repair the homeowners credit after foreclosure. Section 16
prohibits a foreclosure consultant from claiming or receiving any compensation
from a homeowner until after the consultant has fully performed all the
services he promised to perform and prohibits other conduct relating to his
compensation. Section 16 also prohibits a foreclosure consultant from
acquiring any interest in the residence of the homeowner. Section 17
authorizes the Commissioner of Mortgage Lending to impose an administrative
penalty of not more than $10,000 on a foreclosure consultant who violates any
provision of section 16. Section 18 creates a civil cause of
action against a foreclosure consultant for a homeowner who is injured as a
result of a foreclosure consultants violation of any provision of section
16. If the homeowner prevails in his action against the foreclosure
consultant, the court may award him his actual damages, punitive damages of at
least 1 1/2 times his actual damages, his attorneys fees and costs of bringing
the action.

Section 10
of this bill defines a foreclosure purchaser as a person who engages in the
business of acquiring residences that are in foreclosure from their owners. Section
19 of this bill provides that a foreclosure purchaser who engages in
conduct that defrauds or deceives a homeowner whose residence is in foreclosure
is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. Section 19.5 of this bill provides
that if a foreclosure purchaser engages in conduct that defrauds or deceives a
homeowner whose residence is in foreclosure, the homeowner may rescind the
transaction in which the foreclosure purchaser acquired the residence of the
homeowner. Section 19.5 further provides the procedures a homeowner must
follow to rescind the transaction and prevents a homeowner from rescinding a
transaction if the foreclosure purchaser has transferred an interest in the
property to a bona fide purchaser.

1. Is]is secured by a
mortgage loan which involves real property located within this State[; and

2. Constitutes]and includes, without limitation,
a consumer credit transaction that constitutes a mortgage under §
152 of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, 15 U.S.C. §
1602(aa), and the regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, 12 C.F.R. §
226.32.

Sec. 2. NRS 598D.100 is hereby amended
to read as follows:

598D.100 1. It is an unfair lending practice for a
lender to:

(a) Require a borrower, as a condition of obtaining or
maintaining a home loan secured by home property, to provide property insurance
on improvements to home property in an amount that exceeds the reasonable
replacement value of the improvements.

(b) Knowingly or intentionally make a home loan , other than a reverse mortgage,
to a borrower [based] , including, without limitation, a low-document home loan,
no-document home loan or stated-document home loan [solely
upon the equity of the borrower in the home propertyand without] , without determining , using any commercially reasonable
means or mechanism, that the borrower has the ability to repay
the home loan .[from
other assets, including, without limitation, income.]

(c) Finance a prepayment fee or penalty in connection
with the refinancing by the original borrower of a home loan owned by the
lender or an affiliate of the lender.

(d) Finance, directly or indirectly in connection with
a home loan, any credit insurance.

2. As used in this section:

(a) Credit insurance has the meaning ascribed to it
in NRS 690A.015.

(b) Low-document
home loan means a home loan:

(1)
Whose terms allow a borrower to establish his ability to repay the home loan by
providing only limited verification of his income and other assets; or

(2)
Which is evidenced only by a deed transferring some or all of the interest of
the borrower in the home property to the creditor.

ability to repay the home loan without providing any verification of his income
and other assets.

(d) Prepayment

repays the balance of a loan or otherwise makes a payment on a loan before the

ability to repay the home loan by providing only his own statement of
